You would be guessing.   You have no idea how the PD will move in the coming months. 

The best you can do is figure out when your sister's CSPA age will be over 21.  Her PD has to be current by then.  That's all you can do.

So that's the calculator says. The bottom says my sister is eligible.

It is an estimator, so no guarantee, she should be OK, should.

Enter 10/1/2019 as when her PD will be current, you will see that her CSPA age would be under 21.

 

Enter 11/1/2019 as when her PD will be current, you will see that her CSPA age is over 21.

This is why I said best of luck that her PD be current by October 2019.  

You have no idea how the current PD will move in future months with the Visa Bulletin.  In fact, it could stop or retrogress.  There is no way to predict the future.

The ONLY THING THAT CAN BE CALCULATED RIGHT NOW is that her PD has to be current in the F2a category by the October 2019 VB in order for CSPA to protect her.

 

P.S.  Visas don't become available on the 16th.  Visas become available on the 1st of the month of the VB.  For May 2019 VB, it would be May 1, 2019.  For October 2019 VB, it would be October 1, 2019.

Incorrect. "Family-sponsored preference principal applicants and derivative applicants" are eligible for CSPA: https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/child-status-protection-act

More of a yes and no...the clock pauses for a time (versus being frozen in immediate relative categories).
